Upcoming announcements

<shawn> Shawn: - What
questions, issues, and reactions do you think people might have
with the announcement of WCAG 2.0 CR?

doyle: It's about to become law,
and it moves things forward like we did WCAG 1.0

<shawn> sylvie via email: 4.
As a regular Web site reviewer I wonder where I could find
information on how to implement WCAG 2.0 in a site review. Will
it stand in this implementation page?

<Liam> Most people I talk to
would say, "What is a candidate reccommendation?" That is OK it
gives a chance for explanation.

Shawn: Do you receive negative
reactions?

Doyle: We've changed
everything...

Jack: Given the time from it
starts to where it is now, there will be turn over. In terms of
jobs and roles.
... How familiar they are with that, a certain percent of the
audience will be addressing this fresh.

Sharron: Many people will know
how does this relate to 508 (TITAC) ... law, state agencies and
government agencies.

Jack: What does the new standard
mean in terms of the law.

Wayne: The rehabilitation act of
1973 is met better by WCAG 2.0 than 1999 508. There is a
mapping from 508 to WCAG 2.0 Sufficient Techniques.

Doyle: They would like it because
it is easier to read.

Jack: How long will it be until
it gets to the next state.

WCAG 2 FAQ

Sharron: Why do we need "the
guidelines are fairly short... 2.0 Documents are previously
long"

Wayne: Need to look at WCAG 1.0
checkpoints vs. 2.0 levels: Failure to meet 1.0 checkpoints
left people out or made their lives very difficult. The WCAG
2.0 Levels A+ are enhancements. Level A gives full
accessibility.

<shawn> Shawn: check WCAG 2.0
about how that flies, and messaging around that (after CR
;)

Shawn: What information do we
need to convey? Trough printed material...

Jack: Samples and presentations;
printed material How things were accessible how to make
accessible. If I had something to walk away with.. show to the
boss... in a form that I could pop into my computer.

Doyle: something for a cell
phone..
... show how the document displays well on a a cell.

Jack: Great idea,
blackberries,...

<shawn> wayne: iconic things,
like the Components.

<shawn> ... page with that
and brief explanation

<shawn> ... look at our
slides on WAI

<shawn> ... or come up with
some, like the relationship of the [WCAG 2.0] principles to the
success criteria in an iconic way

If we are assigned to create a one page flyer
for conference bags what would be on it?

<shawn> wayne: explain that
this is not accessible, in terms of POUR

<shawn> [Shawn notes that of
course all our printed material will be available in multiple
accessible formats, including HTML]

Doyle: Electronic Ink: scan and
read... Most common question.. one tool to make it
accessible... here is a tool

Sharron: Why does it matter?
....

<shawn> wayne: agree

Sylvie: What is on the Web Site
what WAI does...

Doyle: "What if you can't read
this"

Sylvie: (continued)...
Guidelines, WG, activities of WAI...

Doyle: Target to audience...
education, government, business...

Jack: Instead of what if you
cannot read it if we put in a percentage: 10% can read
this.

<Jack> Or, maybe if you
modify Doyle's statement to indicate a % that can't read it.
Something like ' 10% of the people you want to read this,
can't'

<sharron> Liam: Would talk
about market reach to a marketing conference and empowerment to
a social networking conference.

Jack: Change in terms of more
things making it possible, there is an aging population, people
haven't thought of them in that, but it is having a more direct
effect.

Doyle: Aging baby boomers...

Shawn: Next steps are to have
Sharron write them up.... Pass around and narrow scope.

Impact from EO Deliverables Plan

Shawn: Lets have a wrap-up task
force -- unfinished, still feel like priorities... Holding of
on bring plan until we get input from WAI-AGE, to modify
current deliverables to cover aging and create new docs to
include aging and disability; rather than 2 discussions we
could combine them.
... Update complete WAI-Lit-Review Questionnaire

Sharron: found it confusing
[Sharron had trouble distinguishing between needs change, but
accept change]

Shawn: Would like to publish a
first public working draft, would like to remove any big
problems.
... Mobile accessible working draft... content as finalized...
plan an extended teleconference to wrap it up; any changes to
EO Charter; next week more documents to review regarding WCAG
2.
... Adjourn...
